Es muss zwar immer ein wenig vorsichtig mit Prognosen umgegangen werden, aber anscheinend will man mit dem Bau des Trägers schon im Frühjahr 2022 beginnen.

MADEX 2021: DSME, HHI display competing carrier designs for RoKN's CVX project

South Korean companies Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering (DSME) and Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) displayed competing designs for the Republic of Korea Navy's (RoKN's) light aircraft carrier programme during the 9–12 June International Maritime Defense Industry Exhibition 2021 (MADEX 2021) in Busan.

DSME showcased a 1:125 scale model of its proposal for the RoKN's ‘CV eXperimental' (CVX) project that features a twin-island arrangement but no ‘ski jump' ramp. The model displayed reflects the design that has been seen in promotional material released by the RoKN since January. [...]

According to the company, the proposed carrier would be 263 m long, 46.6 m wide, and have a displacement of 45,000 tons and a top speed of 27 kt. It would be capable of carrying up to 16 short take-off and vertical landing (STOVL) fighter aircraft, such as the Lockheed Martin F-35B Joint Strike Fighter, on its flight deck and 12 more in its hangar. Meanwhile, HHI displayed a 1:400 scale model of its proposed carrier, which would be 270 m long and 60 m wide.
